Who should a nurse call to determine if a CE program is being or was provided by an ANCC COA accredited provider?
It is suggested the nurse confirm this status of the association or organization providing the CE activity before paying the money to register and attend the activity. Certification and licensing boards and employers generally want their required CE activities to be provided by an ANCC COA accredited provider. They may not accept the CE credits/contact hours issued by a non-accredited provider. The nurse can confirm the status by accessing the Directory of ANCC-COA accredited providers.
